Dorit Kemsley and her husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, separated in May 2024, but she officially filed for divorce in April 2025. At the time of her filing, the “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star cited “irreconcilable differences.” But where do they stand now?
A clip from BravoCon 2025 saw her opening up about the challenges of their breakup and the custody of their children. The former couple share two kids, a son, Jagger, and a daughter, Phoenix.
Dorit Kemsley Discusses Divorce In Detail
In the clip, Dorit is chatting with Bozoma Saint John, with whom she has become close. Boz highlights the press that PK has got, including headlines about him being with another woman. When Dorit saw PK kissing the woman on the street, she knew that was the end of everything. “When I saw that on the street, him kissing that other woman … I felt like that’s it,” she confessed. “That man there on the street, I don’t know him!”
She decided to file for divorce that same day. The next day, Dorit and PK had to attend a baseball match for their son. They kept their distance, with Dorit explaining she felt “so hurt” by PK’s actions. “I didn’t even look at him, I couldn’t even look at him,” she said.
Despite Dorit’s feelings toward PK, she revealed that for her kids, she makes an effort to “only speak the best about their father.” When she filed for divorce, PK petitioned for joint custody, but Dorit claims his lifestyle will not allow him to have their kids 50 percent of the time.
